Tho other four wards show a deoreaae. In
the Fifth ward the enumeration shows an
increasa of 592, but In the Blxth ward,
where the peoplo of that part of the city

Fifth ward 1.'1
Blxth ward 40
Total B.'9
Following the general rule of allowing
five memtwrs of the household for each

aa above aa a basts the population would
be 25,196, or thirty-seven less than the
enumeration by City Assessor Hardin.
The large decrease In the population
of the Sixth ward. Mr. Hardin attributes
to the fact that a large number of "floating"-
railroad men employed by tho North
western on Its double tracking and by the
Illinois Central on Ita bridge were counted
In the 1900 census. Mr. Hardin has retained
tils registers and they can be seen at his
office In the court house for the next few
days by any person or body of men who
may wish to look them over.
Speaking of tho result of thla year's
census Mr. Hardin said last evening: "Of
course I realise that the result will be
disappointing to the people of Council
Bluff who had naturally expected that
the census would have shown a healthy
growth, but the experience of this city
la practlo&lly the same as that of almost
every large city In the atate. While It la
almost an Impossibility not to miss a few
RamM nwlnir tn nennln movlna around. I
am prepared to stand by the correctness
of this enumeration. In the case of the
Blxth ward I am still prepared to stand by
my former proposition to stand the ex
pense of a reranvass In the event of It
being prowa that my enumeration la
wrong."

' DES MOINES, July 1. (Special.) Judge
A. H.- McVey of the district court today
held that the law under wUich W, V. Will
cog ' and other prominent Insurance men

unconstitutional both under the state and
federal constitution. The decision Is under
habeas ' corpus proceeding and the men
have been released. County Attorney Jesse
Miller declares lis will carry the case to
the supreme court. Judge McVey's de
ctsloa Is based on the claim that the pen
alty prescribed by the law la not equitable
for Vve reason that It Is not applicable to
everyone In the same degree. The law
prescribed a penalty of not less than 2D
per cont ot the capital, stock. Under the
law the Aetna could be fined (S0.OU0, while
the Uuwkeve of Des Moines could be fined
only 12.000. No Indictments have been re
turned by U.e grand Jury, but County At-

be appealed for a ruling ot the supreme
court n the habeas corpus ruling of the
dlstriot court, or ths caam tried on an In
dictment brought by the grand Jury and
then appealed.
